Chapter 13 - Chapter 12: Training

[yeah narrator, do this one. Make it sound epic. Cuz it is.]

As Seonghwah and Enzo went out of the cave-home, a cold wind started to blow from the top of the mountain. A shrine glowed at the bottom of the mount Fujiyama. Then Enzo turned around to see Seonghwah, who was rubbing his eyes and yawning loudly."Are you ready for training?!", he said."Huh- well no, actually. I am still half asleep.", said Seonghwah as he opened his eyes wide to get himself to wake up properly. Enzo then tossed a bottle of water at Seonghwah out of nowhere."Drink up, you'll feel better!", he said with another smile. But this one was somewhat mysterious, as if he was hiding a surprise. Seonghwah drank the liquid in the bottle and immediately started coughing."What *cough* was that?! Why was it bitter?", he said with a lot of effort as he steadied his breathing after his sudden coughing fit."Robusta bean coffee, tons of caffeine and a huge sensory shock if drunk without sugar! Perfect to wake you up.""Well I am perfectly awake now!", said Seonghwah who was having heavy caffeine rush."Kay, then come at me with all you've got.", said Enzo cheerily as he placed his right leg back and started to do some kind of weird triangular dance step while switching his legs."What exactly do you mean?", said Seonghwah who was now alarmed by Enzo's actions so far."I meant to have a sparring match, so just come at me.", said Enzo simply, almost too simply.At this mention, Seonghwah got really excited. He remembered that when he was in his 18 month army service, he beat everyone in sparring and fights. He smiled and hit up a perfect taekwondo stance. The wind suddenly got even faster and colder as the two fighter got ready to trade blows.

As soon as Enzo said "go", Seonghwah started to jump on the balls of his feet and rushed forward to go for a 360 degree spin kick. Enzo thought 'Going fancy from the top, huh?' And just as the kick was inches from his face, he fluidly ducked and Seonghwah's kick missed by several feet. Then, from a position in which Enzo's face was inches from the hard rock underneath their feet he executed a sudden wheel-like kick to Seonghwah's knee which hit perfectly on target and floored him."WAAH! OUCH!", exclaimed Seonghwah as his back hit the rock. "How did you do that?", he asked.

"Well, you are just too rigid, while I am fluid. I ground you down as water slowly cracks open rocks with sheer force, given if it falls from a waterfall. (Dude, that was profound) If you just make your movements fluid, you will become legendary. You have potential. Eu agradeço.", said Enzo, smirking.

"Okay then, get ready for round two; because I am gonna come swinging!", said Seonghwah.

As they again got into their fighting stances, a sudden explosion in the distance jarred their attention out of the fight.

A building was on fire.
